“…there’s nothing wrong with listening to a whole record from start to finish,”

An interesting article on a couple levels. First, it shows one big time artists prespective on the digital age. More or less finding the ability to still top the charts without using what has become one of the most popular and prosperous method of making record sales. Kid Rock and his people are making statement on the digital age in that both it has driven people away from actually obtaining a complete album and showing that the old way of business, with fan support, can still brign in profits.
The later portion of the article also stood out to me because of the popularity of the “360 deals”. With branding and imaging becoming increasing important and an essential part of of financial profitability to both the artists, labels, and just about everyone, and some peoples willingness to do anything for a dollar, I personnally found it refreshing to hear that Kid Rock is on board with this side of the business, but at the same time on his own terms.
